: This is the acute phase of ulceration. Endoscopically, the ulcer base is deep and heavily coated with a thick, yellowish-white slough or exudate (white plaque). The surrounding mucosal margins are prominently swollen, elevated, and erythematous due to severe edema. Active bleeding or exposed, vulnerable blood vessels may sometimes be observed at this point.
is the hallmark of an acute, active ulcer. The ulcer crater is typically deep and completely covered by a thick, shaggy layer of white or yellowish-white fibrin slough—the necrotic tissue at the base of the ulcer.
